NIAMH BIRCH

Niamh Birch, is an English/Irish Artist living and working in London. After studying Contemporary Art in Bath followed by stints in West Cork and North Devon during the pandemic, she moved to London in 2022 and has been painting in a warehouse in Hackney Wick ever since. Niamh has exhibited work internationally, sold artwork in auctions and participated in residencies ranging from painting in the forests of France to screen-printing in studios in East London.

'“Painting from a combination of memory, drawings and photographs, I depict details and objects from everyday familiarities that are often overlooked, whilst continuously observing beauty within the compositions and patterns in the environments around me. Juxtaposed by harsh black outlines are cheerful and humorous elements, allowing the work to feel precious, yet expressive. Albeit being representative rather than precise, motifs of still life are abundant throughout my work, as well as figurative qualities recently having found their place often at the forefront.

These sections of portraiture instigate an honest narrative between people in domestic and interior spaces; whilst also engaging with my love for warmer climates and alfresco dining. Primarily painted in oil based materials, these subjects are balanced in bold colour compositions and impasto textures on canvas, linen and paper.”
